displayed as a + sign (in-phase) or a - sign (out-of-phase) and is annotated with the phase
angle in degrees. The CT current ratio error and phase displacement is also calculated based on
the CT burden (or rated power) and rated current.
Current Ratio and Phase Error Tables
As part of the tabulated test results, the EZCT-2000C can also print the current ratio and currentphase error tables.
Test Record Header Information
Test record header information, including the company, substation name, circuit ID,
manufacturer, mode, CT serial number, and the operators name, can be stored with each
record. In addition to the test record header, a 20-character test description for each test in the
record (10 tests per record) can also be entered.
User Interface and Display
The EZCT-2000C features a back-lit LCD screen (240 x 128 pixels) that is clearly viewable in both
bright sunlight and low-light levels. An "QWERTY"-style membrane keypad is used to enter testinformation and to control the units functions.
Built-in Thermal Printer
A 4.5-inch wide built-in thermal printer can print the CT test results and excitation curves.
Computer Interface
The EZCT-2000C can be used as a stand-alone unit or can be computer-controlled. It can be
connected to a PC via the USB port or wirelessly via Bluetooth. In computer-controlled mode,
using the included CT Analysis Software, test records can be downloaded from the EZCT-
2000Cs memory, or CT tests can be run from the PC. Test plans can also be created with the
provided software. A test plan defines the various test parameters (test voltage, current range,nameplate ratios, etc.) and can be used to quickly perform tests. Additionally, tabulated test
records are automatically exported to PDF, Excel, and XML formats for further analysis.
Internal Test Record Storage
The EZCT-2000C can store up to 140 test records in Flash EEPROM. Each record may contain up
to 10 excitation curves, burden test reports, current ratio readings, and polarity and DC
resistance readings. Test records can be recalled and printed on the built-in thermal printer.
They can also be transferred to a PC using the USB port, wirelessly via Bluetooth, or via the USB
Flash drive interface port.

Internal Test Plan Storage
The EZCT-2000C can store up to 128 CT test plans in Flash EEPROM. A test plan is comprised of
the excitation test voltage, current range selection, CT nameplate ratios, and CT winding
terminal combinations (X1 to X5) for each test and also includes the insulation test definition.
Up to 10 test definitions can be stored per test plan. The ability to store test plans makes CT
testing an extremely simple process. To perform a test, the EZCT-2000C is connected to the CT
terminals and a test plan is selected to run.
Creating test plans for the EZCT-2000C is also a simple process. A test plan can be created using
the EZCT-2000Cs keypad or can be created on a PC (with provided software) and then
downloaded to the EZCT-2000C via the USB port or Bluetooth. For added convenience, test
plans can also be copied from a USB Flash drive to the EZCT-2000C via the USB Flash drive
interface.
External Data Storage
The EZCT-2000C features a USB Flash drive interface that makes it very convenient to store and
transfer test records and test plans. By using a USB Flash drive, test records and test plans canbe quickly transferred between a computer and the EZCT-2000C without the need to connect
the unit to the computer.
1.3 EZCT-2000C Plus Features
CT Winding Insulation Resistance Test Feature
The EZCT-2000C Plus can also measure the insulation resistance of the CTs secondary winding
using a test voltage up to 1000 Vdc. The DC winding resistance reading range is from 2 to 500
Mega-ohms. The insulation resistance test results are displayed and printed on the report.
CT Burden Test
The EZCT-2000C Plus can measure the CTs actual connected burden by injecting a 1A or 5A test
current into the load. The CT burden measurements (Voltage, current, Cos , and burdenimpedance) are displayed on the screen and printed on the test report. This important test
verifies the actual CT measured burden before putting the CT in service, thus avoiding any
potential configuration conflicts.
Current Source
The EZCT-2000C Plus offers an optional programmable current source (0-20A, 0-15Vac) that can
be used to verify CT loads. The on-time timer and output current are displayed on the LCD
screen.

The EZCT-2000C X output terminals are rated to 2,200 Vac working voltage. Any voltage present
at these terminals above 2,200 Vac may damage the X sense circuitry, cause false readings, or
both. An example of a typical situation where this may occur is shown in Figure 10 below.
Figure 10. Sample CT Name Plate
For the above example CT, the turns ratio between X1-X4 is 3150 to 1. The turns ratio between
X1-X2 is 400 to 1. The turns ratio between X1-X4 and X1-X2 is 7.88 (3150/400). If a test voltage
of 300 Vac is applied to the X1-X2 terminals, a voltage of 2,364 Vac (300 Vac x 7.88) will be
induced at the X1-X4 terminals. If all the test leads are connected to the EZCT-2000C and the
excitation test is performed on the X1-X2 terminals, the voltage induced at the X1-X4 terminals
will exceed 2,000 Vac as the voltage across the X1-X2 terminals increases above 250 Vac. A
Flash-Over condition may occur and damage the EZCT-2000C. In this case, the user should
only connect the X1-X2 leads and run its excitation test, then connect the X4 lead before
running the X1-X4 excitation test.

3.5 Working With Test Plans
A test plan is comprised of the saturation test voltage, current range selection, CT nameplate
ratios, and CT winding terminal combinations (X1 to X5) for each test, and also includes the
insulation resistance test and CT load burden test definitions. Up to 10 test definitions can be
stored per test plan, and up to 128 CT test plans can be stored in the EZCT-2000Cs Flash
EEPROM. The ability to use test plans makes CT testing an extremely simple process. To
perform a test, the EZCT-2000C is connected to the CT terminals and a test plan is selected to
run.
3.5.1. Extracting the Test Plan From a Test Record
A test plan can be extracted from a test record for immediate or future use. You can extract the
test plan immediately after performing a test or you can extract the test plan from a restored
test record (see section 3.4.1 for instructions on how to restore a test record). To extract a test
plan from a test record:
a. Either perform a test (see section 3.2) or recall a test record (see section 3.4.1) that you
would like to extract the test plan from.
b. Start from the START-UP menu:
Press the [3]key (TEST PLANS).
